What is Induction Cooking?

Welcome to NuWave Precision Induction Cooking

Congratulations on purchasing your NuWave PIC. This book contains detailed

instructions and images to help you get started using your Cooktop. It is also

lled with great recipes and time-saving tips to help you prepare delicious

gourmet meals in a fraction of the time it would take when using a regular

stovetop. Cooking is fast and easy with the NuWave Precision Induction Cooktop

from Hearthware, Inc. This versatile countertop appliance uses induction

technology to save time, energy and money. The NuWave Precision Induction

Cooktop is efcient, safe, fast and easy to clean. And because you can program

times and temperatures from warm to sear, you can make almost any kind of

food without the risk of under or overcooking.

The NuWave PIC is comprised of a series of induction coils (based on magnetic

principles). These coils generate magnetic elds that produce a warming reaction

in steel and iron-based pots and pans. In this way, heat is generated in the

cookware and not on the cooktop surface, which is much more energy-efcient

than traditional gas or electric ranges. Induction cooking is the most eco-

friendly way to prepare meals because the method releases no toxins into the

environment. Induction cooking emits no ame, so less residual heat is produced

in your kitchen. The NuWave Precision Induction Cooktop remains cool to the

touch where the magnetic surface is not activated.

Additional Benets:

• Energy Conservation: By using only 1300 watts, the NuWave PIC conserves

up to 90% of the energy wasted by traditional gas or electric stovetops. The

monthly savings on utility bills alone will pay for the appliance.

• Safety: The NuWave PIC’s design requires no coils or open ame,

eliminating the risk of re. Automatic shut-off features enhance the cooktop’s

safety. Simply set it and forget it! Users can also take the ice cube challenge!

Induction technology warms the pan, but the PIC surface remains cool to the

touch.

• Fast Cooking: Heating is immediate and temperature is precise with the

NuWave PIC. Features 6 different temperature settings that are adjustable in

10 degree increments. There’s no guessing!

• Lightweight & Portable: Because it weighs only 5.4 pounds, you can take

the NuWave PIC anywhere you go! Use it indoors or out - anywhere with a

standard U.S. electrical outlet.

• Easy to Clean: Spills won’t burn and stick to the cooktop surface. Just wipe

and go!

Induction Cooktop-Compatible Cookware:

Cleaning & Care for Your NuWave PIC:

ATTENTION:

The heating surface is located inside the larger red ring. You may use pans

measuring up to the total width of the PIC, which measures 12 inches, however

in these situations, heat will transfer more slowly to the outer edges. Do not use

pans larger than 12 inches.

Examples of compatible cookware:

• All NuWave Precision Cookware • NuWave PerfectGreen Fry Pans

• Cast iron • Enameled iron and steel • Stainless steel with magnetic base

Non-induction-compatible cookware:

• Copper • Glass • Aluminum • Pottery type vessels

How do I check my cookware for induction compatibility?

Three simple ways to check if your existing pots and pans, or future cookware

purchases, are compatible with the NuWave PIC:

1. A magnet is typically a great indicator. If it sticks to the bottom of a piece of

cookware, this typically means the pot or pan is induction-ready. However be

cautioned that there are instances when a cooking vessel’s magnetic properties

may not be strong enough for the pot to work efciently with the PIC.

2. Place a small amount of water in a particular pot or pan.

If induction compatible, water will begin to boil.

3. An induction-ready symbol may be printed on the

bottom of the cookware.

IMPORTANT - Do not immerse unit in water or

attempt to cycle through dishwasher. The outer

surface may be cleaned by wiping carefully with

a damp dishcloth or sponge. Make sure unit has

cooled completely prior to cleaning.

As induction technology is based on magnetic principles, compatible cookware

must have a ferrous (iron-based, magnetic) bottom. Some types of cookware

are made of naturally magnetic metals (such as pure iron), while others are

rendered magnetic by “sandwiching” a thin layer of a ferrous metal within the

base. This layer will be acted upon by the magnetic eld of the induction cooktop

to distribute heat. Tri-ply, high-quality stainless steel and cast iron cookware will

work with induction cooktops. Copper, glass and aluminum cookware will not

work unless they have a sandwiched magnetic base. Pots that function optimally

with the PIC tend to be medium to heavy gauge.

BEFORE USE:

Wipe surface with a cloth soaked in warm,

soapy water.

Owner’s Manual

General Operating Instructions:

General Cleaning Instructions:

• Unplug the unit before cleaning.

• Clean after each use.

• Make sure unit has cooled completely prior to cleaning.

• The outer surface may be cleaned by wiping carefully with a damp dishcloth or

sponge.

• Remove the power plug prior to cleaning the NuWave PIC. Do not use caustic

cleaning agents and water should not penetrate the interior of the induction

cooktop.

• Never immerse the PIC, its cables or plug in water or other liquids.

• Wipe the glass surface with a damp cloth or use a mild, non-abrasive soap

solution. Make sure the unit has cooled completely before cleaning.

• Wipe casing and operating panel with a soft cloth dampened with water or a

mild detergent.

• Do not use oil-based cleansing products as their use may damage plastic parts

or the casing/operating panel.

• Do not use ammable, acidic or alkaline materials or substances near the PIC,

as this may reduce the service life of the induction cooktop or pose a re risk

when the induction cooktop is in use.

• In order to keep your PIC looking like new, take measures to ensure that

the bottom of cookware does not scrape the unit’s glass surface, although a

scratched surface will not impair the use of the induction cooktop.

• Make sure to properly clean the unit before storing it in a cool, dry place.

• Place the cooktop on a stable, level, non-metallic surface.

• Never use the cooktop on a ammable surface (e.g. table cloth, carpet, etc.).

• Do not block the ventilation slots of the induction cooktop. This may cause the unit

to overheat. Maintain a minimum distance of 3-5 inches from walls and other objects,

appliances, etc.

• Do not place the PIC next to devices or objects that react sensitively to magnetic

elds (e.g. radios, TVs, video recorders, etc.).

• Do not use the induction cooktop in the proximity of open res, heaters or other heat

sources.

• Ensure that the power cable is not damaged or compressed beneath the induction

cooktop.

• The power cable must not come into contact with sharp edges and/or hot surfaces.

• Prior to connecting the PIC, conrm that the voltage needs indicated in this manual

correspond to the voltage supply in your home. A wrong connection may lead to the

unit’s damage and possible injury to persons.

• The cooktop’s surface is designed from temperature-resistant glass. In the event

that damage to the unit is observed, even a small crack on the glass surface,

immediately disconnect the PIC from the power supply.

IMPORTANT TIPS:

1. Check power outlets to ensure proper operation. Do not use in an outlet

where other major appliances are engaged. Check settings if the unit is

cooking too slowly.

2. The electrical plug must be properly plugged into the outlet.

3. Always turn off and unplug the unit before wiping.

The unit is malfunctioning. Contact customer service.

An E1 reading typically means that your PIC does not detect

cookware on its surface. This can occur for one of two

reasons.

1. Have you placed a pot or pan on the unit? The induction

coils contained within the PIC will only work when they are

in direct contact with a piece of cookware. To maintain your

appliance’s effectiveness, always ensure that it rests on a at

surface and that contact is consistent with your cookware.

2. An E1 message may also occur if your chosen cookware is

not induction-ready.

The units voltage is too low. Minimum = 85 volts

The units voltage is too high. Maximum = 144 volts

Overheating, or air ventilation is obstructed. If internal

temperature exceeds 230˚ F, operation will cease and a “beep”

noise will be produced. Press “Pause/Clear” twice. Wait for the

unit to cool.

In programming mode, when the total entered time reaches

the appliance’s limit of 99:60, no additional stages can be

inputted.

Overheating, if unit exceeds a temperature 20º F higher than

sear, the appliance will turn off. Contact customer service.

• When any of the above error messages display on the LED, the unit will “beep” at least once.

once. Continue cooking by pressing the “Start” button within 45 minutes.

• The unit will turn off after 45 minutes if no buttons (such as “Start”) are pressed. When

the unit shuts off, it will clear all previous cooking history.

• After pressing the “Pause/Clear” button twice or cooking has stopped, the fan will run up

to a maximum of 60 seconds until the unit cools. At that point the PIC will turn off.

a pot after 1 minute, it will shut off automatically. In order to resume cooking before automatic

shutoff, place induction-ready cookware on the PIC’s surface. The E1 error message and

“beep” sound will continue, even after cookware has been replaced, until the “Pause/Clear” or

“Start” buttons have been pressed.

Cooking Tips

This recipe book contains valuable information designed to assist

in the incorporation of the NuWave Precision Induction Cooktop

into daily life. We’ve provided easy-to-prepare recipes along with

helpful tips at the beginning of each section for perfect results

everytime.

Here are a few general suggestions to help you start cooking:

• Place a garbage bowl next to your cutting board for discarding

food scraps.

• Flexible cutting boards are very convenient. Just chop and lift

- no mess, no spills.

• Glass measuring cups are optimal for liquids while plastic

measuring cups work well for dried ingredients.

• After you have juiced lemons, put them in the garbage

disposal to freshen the surrounding air.

• Pay close attention to butter as it’s melting. Butter melts when

its internal temperature reaches a range between 82.4°F and

96.8°F. This means it melts fast, so be prepared to remove it

from the stove quickly.

• Some of the enclosed recipes suggest prepping and/or

cooking items in the NuWave Oven. Contact customer service

for more information or to place an order.

egg and whip for ufer results.

Heat pan on high for 1 minute to

ensure fast cooking.

• Cool down boiled eggs by placing

them in a bowl of ice cubes while

running eggs under water. This will

help peel eggs with ease.

• If, while cracking, a small egg

shell fragment gets into the mix,

take a larger piece of the shell and

place it into the egg mixture. The

larger shell will serve as a magnet,

drawing the small fragment

towards it.

Breakfast

• Eggs are best used within 10 days
